Let's break the 65% voter turnout barrier! Follow us on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.

Friday, November 2, 2012

The last time voter turnout for a presidential election exceeded 65% was in 1908, a leap year, the first year a long distant radio message was sent, the last time the Cubs won the World Series, and 132 years after America declared independence. In 2012, more than 100 years later, let's do it again.

The right to vote is granted to all American citizens, and it is one of the defining characteristics of our government, yet few Americans exercise this right. Some people look at their vote as one against millions and feel their effort is hopeless against such a strong tide, but I challenge you to see your vote as one with millions, standing side-by-side with those who want the see the country lead in the same direction you do.

In the last presidential election, voter turnout was nearly 58%, the highest turnout in 40 years. This year, we can top it. You should vote. You should encourage your friends to vote, and your family, anyone you meet on street, people you don't even really like.

It doesn't matter who you vote for.
Just. Vote.

It's what makes America, America.
